Wynonna - Just Like New Lyrics

Words and Music by Jesse Winchester

That?s the same engine under the hood
Carried young Elvis to Hollywood
Been cross country a time or two
And look at it now, it?s just like new
He had a weakness for Cadillacs
A girl in the front and his friends in the back
That?s the original paint job too
And look at it now, it?s just like new

Elvis was happy, he felt pretty good
Here he was drivin' to Hollywood
Gassin? it up and pushin? it through
And look at it now, it?s just like new
According to one of Elvis?s friends
He took it up to a hundred and ten
He just wanted to see what his Caddy would do
And look at it now, it?s just like new

And my, my what a beautiful machine
Oh boy, it rides just like a dream
Just think of all that it?s been through
And look at it now, it?s just like new

He drove it to Memphis come Christmas time
Weather so fair, the future so fine
Say, Mama them girls ain?t as pretty as you
Look at her Daddy, she?s just like new
Elvis was always a dutiful child
And here everybody was thinkin' he?s wild
He bought his folks a Cadillac too
And look at it now, it?s just like new
